According to the website, Tilley’s 'Timid Joe' dog soap promises to provide your dog with the “best bath he’s ever had.” This beloved soap contains a flea-repelling compound, ensuring that your furry friend not only smells delightful but also stays pest-free. Established in 1865 by Arthur Tilley, the company has been creating high-quality dog soap for over a century and a half. Given its long-standing reputation and gentle formulation, it's no surprise that this gift was particularly appreciated by Queen Elizabeth II's Corgis, who surely enjoyed the pampering.
